The government also alleged that Extended Home Care and Excellent Home Care knowingly billed for aides with phony certificates who were untrained and that Extended and Excellent knowingly submitted claims to the Medicare program for home health aide services purportedly rendered by aides supplied by Nursing Personnel that were not actually provided.
